{Mikhail Moiseyevich Botvinnik, PhD (Russian: ÃϿÑ...ðøÌÂû
ÃœþøÑÂõÌÂõòøч Ã'þтòøÌÂýýøú, pronounced [mʲixaˈiɫ̺
mʌiˈs̺ʲɛjɛvʲitʃʲ bʌt̺ˈvʲin̺n̻ʲik]; August 17 [O.S. August 4]
1911 â€" May 5, 1995) was a Soviet and Russian International Grandmaster and
three-time World Chess Champion, widely considered one of the greatest chess
players of all time. Working as an electrical engineer and computer scientist
at the same time, he was one of the very few professional chess players who
achieved distinction in another career while playing top-class competitive
chess. He was also a pioneer of computer chess. Botvinnik was the first
world-class player to develop within the Soviet Union (Alekhine was a top
player before the Russian Revolution), putting him under political pressure
but also giving him considerable influence within Soviet chess. From time to
time he was accused of using that influence to his own advantage, but the
evidence is unclear and some suggest he resisted attempts by Soviet officials
to intimidate some of his rivals. Botvinnik also played a major role in the
organization of chess, making a significant contribution to the design of the
World Chess Championship system after World War II and becoming a leading
member of the coaching system that enabled the Soviet Union to dominate
top-class chess during that time. His famous pupils include World Champions
Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov and Vladimir Kramnik.} 1. d4 d5 {"On a free day
during the Moscow 1925 tornament Capablanca traveled all the way to Leningrad
to give a display against thirty first-category players; after a gruelling
five and a half hours play he scored 18+ 4- 8= and then he traveled back. On
the next day he played the worst game of his career, when he lost to Verlinski.
Here he loses to a fourteen-year-old schoolboy whom -so the tale runs- he
predicted would one day become a champion."} 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Nbd7 5.
